The big deal for me?
Because of the huge surge to go with 2.4. There is a lot of discontent towards
the old 72 MHz. And pilots are selling off the 72 stuff everywhere...
I am enjoying the low! Low! Prices on Stylus radio's and radio accessories!
I think it's all good! It's a win, win situation. As we speak, the number of
frequencies we have to control is decreasing!
I may go with 2.4 in my gliders. Since I do fly at large contests, the
frequency security makes sense.
But locally I fly at well controlled sites. And besides, I know who is on my
channel around here. We are a tight group, and not that many pilots.
I do look at it on the practical side as well.. I have about 20 aircraft that
are loaded, and ready to fly.. I thought about how much it would cost to change
out all the receivers.. I just laughed!
I think I will be ok with 72 MHz for awhile. ')
